Key Lime Pie

Easiest pie to make! It's mine and my husbands favorite pie.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 prepared Graham Cracker Crust
  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 c. sour cream (light)
  • 3/4 c. key lime juice (found in the liquor isle)
  • 1 T. grated lime zest





CRUST: 1 1/2 sleeves of Graham crackers, 2 cups crushed. 1/4 c. sugar. 1 stick butter, melted. Combine and press into a pie pan. Bake @ 350* for 10 minutes.

DIRECTIONS: Mix ingredients until smooth. Pour into a prepared pie crust. Bake @ 350* for 8 minutes. *You don't want to brown the pie. Just bake long enough to see tiny pinhole bubbles come to the surface. CHILL the pie. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.

The slice in this pic isn't chilled. Couldn't wait. :) Still so good!

This pic is 3 day old pie. Chilled in the fridge. As you can see it sets up very nicely and tastes even better after a few days!

You can add a drop or two of green food coloring for a yummy green treat for St. Patrick's Day!


Enjoy!
